“People have always wanted answers to the big questions.” Stephen Hawking
I Have A Question You lit the candle and said the words, you turned six times and stirred the dust, you drank the bitter herbs and danced, calmness descended, peace emanated, perhaps it is the repetition in dark times that helps, but are these rituals marking time, a deja vu that holds a pattern, are they a tourniquet that restricts any forward flow, or do they protect you from falling to the past, or do they imprison you in disintegrated worlds?
